Hey fam and friends! Wow, what a week of super good stuff. so this week we honestly didn’t have much luck with our investigators which is a shame, but we got blessed with a baptism! It was sooo awesome and such an experience. So I only have time for a few stories. So Saturday we had the baptism and we were supposed to baptize the mom and the son but it ended up just being the mom nikki. So the story is that on their baptism day they were both sooo excited and were ready to go all dressed in white clothes with the font full of water. so we had a member give a talk and i was going to baptize nikki, the mom, first. So I’m about ready to baptize her when all of a sudden the zone leaders had an emergency and couldn’t make it and she doesn’t know much Spanish. I was going to do the baptism in English for her, and the zone leaders were going to be the witnesses because they both speak English and all was going to be well. So the Zone Leaders didn’t show up and i didn’t know the Spanish version to baptize her. So I had to hurry up and memorize it in 5 minutes and it was chaotic but i did and the baptism was such an amazing experience. my first convert…what a blessing from god. So then it was my comps turn to baptize nikki’s son. he was soo pumped so they start getting in the font and trent, the kid, put his feet in the water and got sooo scared. It turns out that the kid is deathly afraid of water (which no one told us about) and he refused to get more than his knees wet. Well, he is only 8 but it was still ridiculous. he was screaming and kept on asking us to drain the water in the font a little lower. it was soo bad hahaha he was in the water for like 30 minutes with members around trying to cheer him up. he wanted to get baptized but was just so scared of the water. I even tried bribing him with McDonald’s delivery (I know im a bad missionary) and tons of other stuff. it was sooo funny and so ridiculous and is a story for the ages. In the end he never got baptized which is sad, but he wants to sometime this month but idk if it’s going to happen with that situation. But the spirit was so strong while i was baptizing nikky, super crazy experience, i remember what i had to say in Spanish and everything. So another story for you is today me and my comp went on a wild goose chase for these popusas we heard some people talking about. The popusas were out of our area so we got permission to leave our area but we didn’t know exactly where they were. So it turns out that we got lost and ended up in dad’s old stomping grounds la chorerra which was super funny. But we did end up getting the popusas after hours of searching lol they were soo good. so yeah thats some stuff this week. love u all and have a good next week!
PICS
1. the pupusas today. soo good, kinda like an inside out tortilla fried with cheese and meat and beans. super good, its originally from el salvador .
2. all of the kids have bikes like this i dont even get it. they all light up at night and have huuuge speakers on the front and are always blasting music. but the bikes are always rusty and crappy and i dont understand how they even steer with the speaker hahahaha.
3. A desert i had yesterday. sooo weird kinda gross but kinda good. an old lady that’s sort of an investigator made it. she’s from the Dominican Republic and this dessert is traditional there i guess. Its dulce, like a gross choco honey sugar thick sauce with canela, and beans, i think they’re kidney. the dessert is called avichuela con dulce. soo wack, almost good though.
4. the baptism ayyyy sooo awesome.
5. a tie the kuna made me, shes soo talented its so dope all hand stiched with fabrics. super cool.
